If common sense is uncommon, then is it still common sense?

No, not anymore, so shouldn't we call it extraordinary sense or something?

Could someone with common sense intuit what 'extraordinary sense' means?

Since 'extraordinary' implies some kind of abnormality, wouldn't that be in line with 'uncommon'?

So, it's not intuitive to you, but do you have common sense or not?

Doesn't everyone think they have common sense, and it's just other people who don't?

Do you all know how the knock knock joke about Dr. Who goes?

If someone says, "knock, knock" isn't, "Who's there?" the polite response?

If someone says, "Knock, knock," would it be impolite to say "I don't want to hear any knock-knock jokes"?

Isn't it rude to deny someone the opportunity to tell a joke?
